Name the other DC's that have been elite at 2 different p5 programs.

Elite is a relative term. Over the last 15 years Aranda's defense ranks 14th (2018), 8th and 9th. Only Steele in 2015 was lower than Aranda this season by 1 yard per game.

Wisconsin had the #1 defense in CFB last season. IDK if their DC is an Aranda protégé so he could get some credit for that.

None of this is a knock on Aranda. He's a very good DC and lack of offense has hurt the defense there's no doubt. Wisconsin has a run heavy ball control philosophy which keeps the defense fresh and off the field. We used to as well and it got Les canned.

You cant use totals to rank a defense against other defenses that had offenses with better TOP. If you looked at Chavis' total defenses they all looked elite but when you looked at yards per play, his defenses werent as highly ranked.his defenses just faced less plays do to our ball controlled offense.

I like to use yards per play. I havent checked to see if that would affect aranda's defense ranking this year but we have also never had such a poor offense. At least under miles we could run the ball well if our passing game sucked. At times this year we could do neither
